Abstract: The NCI launched the Physical Sciences - Oncology Center (PS-OC; http://physics.cancer.gov/) program in 2009 as Phase I of the Physical Sciences in Oncology (PSO) Initiative. The PSO Initiative seeks to establish research projects that bring together cancer biologists and oncologists with scientists from the fields of physics, mathematics, chemistry, and engineering to address some of the major questions and barriers in cancer research. As part of this initiative, evaluation plans were developed and consisted of three components, dependent on which year the initiative is in: prospective for beginning, structured for mid-point, and summative/full outcome evaluation for a decade after the program started.
